How to not be a flying monkey(?)
Hello everyone,
My friend and I both come from narcissistic households and currently live together. I am low contact with my parents and they leave me alone, but he is still in the process of reducing contact, and his family is pulling all the stops to get him to come back.
recently, his dad (the nparent, mom is enabler) even reached out to me in some kind of desperate last resort to get me to convince my friend to meet up with them. i do not even want to tell my friend about this because im worried that will make him feel guilty that im being "dragged into it". i am struggling find something to say back that will make them dismiss me as an option to do their bidding. do i just ignore the message? if it was my own parents i would have ignored it, but my friend's dad is far more unreasonable than my own, so I'm not sure if it's safe to do that.
ideally id like help drafting a quick, simple reply that could de-escalate and still give them nothing to work with. does a response like that even exist? thank you for reading.
